Table 17. PhysicalPackage (continued)
Property Description
A value of Blade should be used when the PhysicalPackage
contains the operational hardware aspects of a
ComputerSystem, without the supporting mechanicals such
as power and cooling. For example, a Blade Server includes
processor(s) and memory, and relies on the containing chassis
to supply power and cooling. In many respects, a Blade can be
considered a Module/Card. However, it is tracked differently
by inventory systems and differs in terms of service
philosophy. For example, a Blade is intended to be hot-
plugged into a hosting enclosure without requiring additional
cabling, and does not require a cover to be removed from the
enclosure for installation. Similarly, a Blade Expansion has
characteristics of a Blade and a Module/Card. However, it is
distinct from both due to inventory tracking and service
philosophy, and because of its hardware dependence on a
Blade. A Blade Expansion must be attached to a Blade prior to
inserting the resultant assembly into an enclosure.
PartNumber
The part number assigned by the organization that is
responsible for producing or manufacturing the
PhysicalElement.
SerialNumber
A manufacturer-allocated number used to identify the
Physical Element.
SKU
The stock-keeping unit number for this PhysicalElement.
Tag
An arbitrary string that uniquely identifies the Physical
Element and serves as the key of the Element. The Tag
property can contain information such as asset tag or serial
number data. The key for PhysicalElement is placed very high
in the object hierarchy in order to independently identify the
hardware or entity, regardless of physical placement in or on
Cabinets, Adapters, and so on. For example, a hotswappable
or removable component can be taken from its containing
(scoping) Package and be temporarily unused. The object still
continues to exist and can even be inserted into a different
scoping container. Therefore, the key for Physical Element is
an arbitrary string and is defined independently of any
placement or location-oriented hierarchy.
Version
A string that indicates the version of the PhysicalElement.
DCIM_ParallelPort
Table 18. ParallelPort
Property Description
BaseIOAddress
An integer value that represents the base I/O address used by
the parallel port.
ConnectorType
ConnectorType is defined to force consistent naming of the
'connector type' property in subclasses and to guarantee
unique enum values for all instances of ParallelPort. When set
to 3 (Proprietary), the related property
OtherConnectorType contains a string description of the type
of port.
